It was spring, mud season. They had to sleep in a barn. They said they thought they would freeze to death. He was the old school of the show was going to go on no matter what.

Judy Derby

It's unusual. I can't remember it ever happening. This is my 16th spring. We just want to make sure that he's OK.

Larry Beinfest

Anytime we get to play in the spring, it is nice because we get to practice certain things and see different playing styles across the net. Our players left with a good feeling and I think it was a productive weekend for us.

Steffi Legall

You have to understand that was the first outing he's had all spring. You're probably not going to have your best command in your first outing. I thought he kept us in the game and that's all we really wanted from him.

Matt Galante

The way these grants work is that it takes about a year to get any money. Typically you apply in the spring and you get the money sometime in the autumn.

Jeanne Board

This is when we came up with the current plan. The plan was to put up monitors, use the outside courts and let students use it. Everyone agreed and we've been going along and doing this since the spring.

Michael Edwards

Not having a spring exhibition (in 2005) was a big deal. I'm pleased we kept as much (of the numbers) as we did. What drives a museum is having new things. That's the single most important thing I've learned as director of a museum.

George Sparks

People have said they thought Tulane could start back in the spring semester.

Christopher Dunn

It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives to us character and prestige. Seeds of kindness, goodwill, and human understanding, planted in fertile soil, spring up into deathless friendships, big deeds of worth, and a memory that will not soon fade...

George Matthew Adams

It's been pretty cold. That's the thing people notice. It's not simply the precipitation. Spring has stayed away. You notice it more in the daytime than at night.

Kelly Redmond

He's a tough kid, a hard-nosed kid. I felt sure he would definitely go through some spring. I didn't know how much he'd end up doing, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

Hugh Nall

It doesn't look promising for a wet spring at this point.

Jeff Colton

Offensively we're coming along well. It's a lot easier this spring, because we're not learning a whole new offense.

Brady Leaf

I have no concern about that whatsoever. Given the nature of this virus, I don't think this will be an issue by the time we start the spring meet in April.

Lou Raffetto

If Sony gets any more specific than saying 'late spring' or 'midyear,' I'll be shocked.

Danielle Levitas

It's going to be a physical spring.

Mark Mchale

I am so proud of Janie. It has been an honor to be a part of her life and golf career for the past four years. Our program will miss her next spring.

Mary White

As a team player and a fullback, a great play for me is a great block to spring a run. It was hard at first. You adjust. The team is what I'm about. Whatever it takes, I'm going to do it.

Jake Slaughter

After the appeal, I understand it wouldn't be until the spring of 2006.

Robert Portman

It's an opportunity for us to see teams from districts around us that we don't normally get to see. And it's a way to play your way back into playing shape after being on spring break for a week.

Chip Berry

From the preseason to this game there has been some great improvement on both sides of the ball. I was just amazed at how the guys kept their heads in the game and never gave up. They played with a lot of heart and showed there is no such thing as quit at Big Spring.

Bob Baker Jr

It is extremely preliminary in the discussions. All we did was send them a very generic basic spring-training diagram.

Bob Dibiasio

I thought I was done. I've never had an injury like that in my life. I thought I was going to be out like two months. I'm just glad it happened during spring training and before the regular season.

Dioner Navarro

We hope to start construction in the early spring.

Gary Michael

Despite the drought, floods and freezes, they come back every spring, and because of experiences in my life, that's been meaningful to me, ... In some way, no matter what tragedies befall us, God will allow us to bloom again.

Joan Rankin

We know that, but whether one can do anything about it is another thing. We will try to stock perch again next spring, judging by what we're getting here.

Randy Hiltner

We're not able to spring people from jail just because they're Americans.

Maura Harty

We could spring a surprise there. We believe we can achieve something using our head and heart.

Christoph Daum

It's the oldest franchise in Major League Baseball. For anybody to get that Opening Day start, it's an honor. But I'm going to go out and get ready for the season, build up some innings and get my arm in shape this spring.

Aaron Harang

It's been so crazy, I even forgot a little bit about the spring game.

Michael Bonnette

I just had a couple good swings. [Costa] has hit the ball pretty good all spring.

Aaron Guiel

We're losing our ace (Amanda Vaught) after this season. Emily can step right into her role. Amanda won a school record 19 games for us last spring.

Johnny Littrell

We were still confident, even with 11 blokes. It means a lot and it gives us that spring into the finals.

Admiral Sir Alan West

I'm doing a little of everything, but I'm also getting the chance to work on restoring the theater for the American Film Institute in Silver Spring, Md., which is pretty exciting.

Suzanna Wight

Every pinch-hit at-bat is like the first at-bat of spring training every year, like starting over every at-bat and it's a tough, tough job.

Chris Chambliss

However, the shock build -- that is the assembly of the shock and what the shock is intended to do with that build -- it's not within the spirit and the intent of what our shock absorber rules surround. Simply put, we prefer that shock absorbers are used for shock absorbers, which is a device which controls the frequency of a spring, not to be a spring assist or a jack or anything else.

John Darby

Each tournament we played in this spring was an improvement from the previous one. So we know we're on track to finish out the regular season strong.

Alexis Etow

Opening day is always exciting. We have a talented group of players and if we do the right things and do the things we've been teaching them in spring training, we'll be all right.

Brian Harper

This was a typical Huntington High-Spring Valley game. You just go out and play. If you don't, you're going to get beat.

Lonnie Lucas

During spring break we take a family trip, but this year they're on their own.

Karen Bell

I think the pickings are going to be leaner than consumers expect because business has been fairly robust. I think we've had a relatively mild winter, which means the early spring merchandise that's on display has been hitting a better weather consumer mood. I think, given that inventories are probably moving quite well, there isn't going to be much clearance selling for spring.

George Rosenbaum

Emily is a fantastic leader. She has been an honor to coach these past three years and I am very proud of her as she leads this team into the 2006 spring dual season. Our younger players are very fortunate to have someone of Emily's character to look up to.

Chuck Merzbacher

I have big expectations. I expect to make an impact in the Big 12 right away. I worked hard during the spring, and I'm going to continue to work hard during the summer so I can be one of the best players in the Big 12.

Tyrone Mckenzie

It's an amazing season and I think everyone in Washington waits for spring. I think Washington is a real pressure cooker.

Jane Gillette

What you are seeing is retention. We're not putting in a new offense like we were last spring. Nothing is new; now all you're trying to do is fine-tune the details.

Daryl Dickey

I'm impressed with the way our girls played tonight. The Canadians are faster, more athletic and more intellectual than teams we usually face. We've worked our way up and have improved in each game so far this spring.

Bryan Blitz

White is going to be huge for spring. The further we get into warmer weather, we will see it more and more.

Marla Shavin

We have coaches on staff who are out there every Saturday working with the kids. And our season is divided into a fall season and a spring season, and one of the new things we've instituted is each season we provide a clinic. It provides a lot of one-on-one coaching time.

Matt Mays

We have a great deal of spring merchandise. You see color. I think that is very good for us, not just in Florida and California, but in the whole country. Our customers want to see newness.

Michael Gould

It took awhile in spring training to get used to it, but once you get used to it, it feels good.

Chip Hale

It was really exactly what I've expected. Spring breaks really mess us up since ours falls opposite of everybody else. We had a real good March. Last week was the first time we'd played in three weeks.

Steve Buck

They have to get approval to run anything. But we have flexibility. We could approve a partial schedule. Though the horsemen have reservations, I don't think there would be much objection to the racing schedule proposed through the spring.

Tom Mcdonough

The fire danger (through September) is as bad as ever before - just like 2002. We are luckier this time because we have more capital to spend and there is more snow (this) spring, about two times more than 2002.

Klaus Wolter

Modern man's loss of a sense of being sinful doesn't spring from a feeling that he is inherently good. Rather, it springs from his feeling of being inherently ineffectual.

Brendan Francis

The spring game is the time to show what you've been doing all spring. Everybody just had a good time and did that.

Jordan Norwood

[Spring is] when life's alive in everything.

Christina G. Rossetti

[Senior Ben Young returns to the midfield with experience and leadership qualities.] Young is good at getting by defenders and getting crosses in, ... In the spring, he showed he had the ability to set up goals and was very dangerous in making his plays count.

Jim Barlow

I just felt after last spring that I had more good races in me. Spending money to give it another shot in an Olympic year, it wasn't much of a consideration. It was kind of a no-brainer.

Chip Knight

It was absurd in the spring, and it's still absurd.

Richard Hatch

I'll see how the winds of change are next spring for the state election. For right now, it's time to get going on a career.

Daniel Parrish

I will be joining the campaign with a song in my heart, with a spring in my step.

Charles Kennedy

The timing is perfect because spring and summer for us is like the holiday season for other retailers. When the sun comes out, that's when you build your deck or paint your house.

Kathryn Gallagher

In some ways, that's a good thing. It means they can spend the spring raising funds and doing thing they ought to be doing.

Lachlan Mcintosh

We will start as soon as we get the permits, possibly in late spring or early summer.

Wil Hinson

These young guys are hard workers and because of that hard work I see a bright future for all of the spring sports. Our time is coming to be on top in the district.

Mark Heaton

From the preseason to this game there has been some great improvement on both sides of the ball, ... I was just amazed at how the guys kept their heads in the game and never gave up. They played with a lot of heart and showed there is no such thing as quit at Big Spring.

Bob Baker

It's getting more serious, ... by the spring almost all of our students are driving.

Jeff Hawkins

I'm able to use this spring training to really prepare for the season, where normally I'd have to come in and fight for a spot. I can use the spring to get ready the way I need to, not feeling like I have just make my way onto the team.

Aaron Cook

It's a challenge to do track here in the early spring. Right now, we're still training on the street. A lot of the freshmen have never really been on a track before and they don't know the markings yet.

Kristy Mcclain

This doesn't mean we can expect an extremely hot late spring, early summer.

Greg Schoor

Aiding the needy has always been a traditional Chinese virtue. The Spring Festival alms program embodies a combination of the virtue and the political ideology of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC).

Lu Xiaowen

[So the Potters gave it a rest. Until last spring, that is, when they noticed that Ken Bacher was now spearheading the Dalai Lama's redux.] That's when I finally decided to take this issue public, ... As a result, we've been shunned by our friends. But this has been eating at me for 12 years.

James Potter

We're a step ahead of where we were last spring. People have filled their roles already. That's something that didn't come around until fall camp.

Corey Mckeon

To me he seems satisfied with how it has gone this spring. Randy is not the kind of person who walks around singing because this is a serious business for him. But he looks comfortable.

Kelly Stinnett

We are becoming increasingly nervous about our call for a 25 basis point rate cut at the February ... meeting, even if we are not yet ready to throw in the towel and push back the next rate move to the spring.

Alan Castle

I feel very good about my delivery right now. I really haven't felt great all spring, but tonight is as good as I've felt.

Shawn Estes

We'd love to have Brian back, but he's gone, he has moved on and we wish him well. We have some guys who are champing at the bit to get started in spring practice. We have a good blend.

John Settle

The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.

Bill Veeck

This grew out of what was called the Spring Fair in the '70s.

Sandra Moore

He was playing a little catch-up this spring and wasn't as sharp as we would have anticipated him to be. He has quickly turned that around and really has played some great lacrosse in recent weeks.

Joe Alberici

Being out here all day, it wears on you. It hasn't been spring break for us. But hopefully we'll get a big crowd for the weekend series.

Joe Urso

He'll get a lot of reps early in spring training, and if he shows us he can handle Class AA, that's not out of the question. That's something he's probably shooting for personally.

Ricky Bennett

We till a bare minimum, light tilling in the fall and in the spring to plant. We have a lot of wind.

Bob Worth

He's really picked it up. He's probably had the best spring of anyone. He's actually done great, made a lot of big plays.

Jay Hopson

I see it as a positive step to protect the integrity of the sport. I have always viewed the winter option as detrimental when fall and spring are considered.

Greg Wall

Great use they have, when in the hands Of one like me, who understands, Who understands the time and place, The person, manner, and the grace, Which fools neglect; so that we find, If all the requisites are join'd, From whence a perfect joke must spring, A joke's a very serious thing.

Charles Churchill

We will be closing 73 Toys ?R' Us stores in the United States only. This does not affect our international stores or Babies ?R' Us stores. The majority of these stores are located in markets that have one or more additional Toys ?R' Us locations. There are also 12 additional Toys ?R' Us stores that are converting to Babies ?R' Us stores beginning this spring.

Kathleen Waugh

I wish we had a stronger spring sports program, so I could say we will overtake Tampa Prep, but I don't know. It would take something happening that I am not expecting.

Ron Ream

I saw fireworks only on TV before, but tonight I set off them myself. They are as beautiful as shining stars! This is the most unforgettable Spring Festival in my life.

Li Rong

I am anxious to get started. Coach (Jeff) Evans has done a great job with the high school team this spring and I know that we can have success this summer.

James Widoe

You can't start taking them now and expect your symptoms to go away. But if you're someone who is repeatedly getting the same symptoms every spring and medicines don't help, allergy shots would be prudent.

Beth Corn

He had to go through a very dark winter being blind, and go through that as a 12 year old. But he's had a great spring, a great summer and now in the fall, he's going to have a lot of fun.

Chris Lucas

But when we didn't get any offers, we contacted Coach Ro in late spring. He didn't promise anything, but he said he was pretty sure he could find a school for Brian.

Tim Johnston

Mac needs to come into spring ready to get a lot of innings. I'm not going to say he's our long guy or our seventh-inning guy or a spot starter, but he is a reliever right now until further notice.

Don Cooper

When the schedule came out this spring, we knew we were playing Marist and St. Joseph back-to-back. I told the team it would be 27 hours of basketball from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday.

Mike Bailey

Now you know that spring is here. It wasn't a bad winter, but I love spring.

Theresa Anderson

In the South there seems to be two seasons where tornadoes mostly occur: in the late fall and then sometimes in the late winter into early spring. We don't get as many down this close to the Gulf Coast as they do more inland, but it's not unheard of.

Tim Destri

We're very fortunate in that we have two seasons. As soon as the spring breakers leave, the locals come back.

Michael Stanton

It should be an easier spring for the team.

Brian Flaherty

Not exactly the time I wanted to test it, but I guess that's a good sign for Spring Training. It looks like I'm all ready to go now.

Jason Kubel

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.

Henry Van Dyke

I know that the rats didn't spring into existence in our garden. Unfortunately we gave them a food supply and habitat that was attractive and overlooked the fact that they were there and multiplying.

Steve Turner

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.

Paul Valery

Are we where we need to be to win football games? I don't think so. But I think we're going in the right direction and think that's what spring is all about.

Curt Newsome

I tasted spring - the cupcakes and pizza and polish sausage. From the fall, I had turkey and dressing. It was mouth-watering. And I had cabbage and turnip greens.

Brandi Brown

A much bigger trend for last spring, but that doesn't mean it's over. It's a matter of personal taste and what works with your skin tone, your taste and your personality.

Laurie Trott

If we get to the end of February and I've only skied a couple, I'll start to worry. I need to stay positive. The silver lining is that it is snowing, so there will be a longer spring for skiing.

Chris Davenport

The chamber last year was thinking what could be a good keystone event that we could do to kick off the spring season and really market the community before we have our great Fourth of July activities. We have quite a pet industry. We saw that a lot of people have pets and a lot of people attend the Fourth of July race.

Tim Burns

I could have done track in the spring, but I really wanted to establish myself as a football player. Right now I'm second on the depth chart behind Tony Davis, and he's going to be tough to beat out. He's a really good corner.

Knowledge Timmons

Jason has the mental makeup and, to me, that's a huge part of it when you start thinking about double-jumping guys. It's 60-40 we will do it. It depends on the way he swings the bat in spring training.

Mike Arbuckle

Last spring is when fashion started being all about glamour. Everywhere a person looked, there were people with embellished jeans, sequins on everything, and lots of metallic.

Jennifer Bennett

For anyone training for a fall marathon, whether it be Columbus, Chicago, Detroit ... this is a great series for them to use throughout the spring, the summer and early fall to get them prepared for their marathon.

Doug Grout

I pitched well. My arm felt great. It seemed like I was throwing harder today than most of spring.

Boone Logan

Robert had an excellent game, and he's much improved from the spring.

Lance Martin

The spring is going pretty good. We see a lot of improvements with the offensive line, and we know we've got the ability to go out and make a lot of big plays. The coaches are like a little bit more intense this spring.

Darrell Blackman

In spring, people don't take skiing and riding as seriously. They get to the slopes around 10 a.m, ride until 2 p.m. and then park it on the deck and soak up the sun.

Nicole Belt

I leapt at the tape like a man taking his last spring to save himself from the chasm that threatens to engulf him.

Roger Bannister

Although there has been very little rain so far this winter, mosquito prevention remains the key to preventing West Nile virus. By controlling mosquitoes now, we can reduce their populations in spring and summer.

Gary Erbeck

Not really. I'm just going to go out and try to do whatever I can do to help the team. Like they said in spring training, they care about how we do. But really we're in it for the team as a whole, not just one person.

Ryan Sweeney

[The court postponement means that the completion of the roadwork is postponed until next spring, as well, provided the court case is settled by that time.] Its not going to hurt it to let it go over the winter, ... The road may be a little rougher but its not a safety problem.

Chris Baldwin

Our fall season went really well so I'm pretty sure we'll have a good spring season.

Jessica Fischetti

That game was the whole season in a nutshell. We got our butts handed to us. We had a sour taste in our mouth all spring, all summer and all winter.

Pat Julmiste

There's basically five kids going out for the quarterback spot. Austin got a little bit of varsity experience last year. Obviously, he's a good candidate, but we feel good about any of them. We'll see how spring goes with those guys.

Joey Florence

That was the week of spring break, and we hadn't practiced in a week. The girls are more focused right now than they were that day.

Chad Kison

As usual, activity in the post-holiday season market is more moderate than during the peak spring months . . . [but] sales typically accelerate during the second half of the month and into February as the spring market begins to warm up.

John Meehan

Natalie is a junior that has worked hard and developed in the program for two years. She had a solid spring and is ready to jump in when needed.

Beth Launiere

That's one thing that he wants us to do here, play solid. Making little mistakes here and there will cost runs. That's what he wants to stress more than anything else. Wins look good, but if you don't do everything fundamentally sound, you're not getting anything out of the spring.

Shane Victorino

We're hoping to really get this going this spring. We'd really like to be able to list these producers on our Web site who have the RR rams to sell.

Pam Smith

It was a strange spring because of the lack of rain we had. As a result, we were definitely ready to play once the season started. We needed to get off to a fast start because we had all division games right from the start.

Stan Domin

It's our anticipation that we will be at 11.7 or below when next spring semester starts.

Kenny Mossman

Winter does adversely affect [the roads] and our roads have been let go, so they're more and more porous. We're going to have to put more and more emphasis on permanent patch and maintenance, so I expect a great deal of roads breaking up in the spring.

Dan Ryan

The campaign was further extended through spring of 2005, because the Meyer Sports and Wellness Center cost was approximately six hundred thousand dollars more than originally budgeted.

Pat Taylor

You have to be very careful. Girls have to remember, everybody has to remember, that your spring break can go from being that postcard, that picture perfect postcard, to a nightmare in a flash. Really keep your guard up.

Atoosa Rubenstein

Mr. Eaton either doesn't know what he's talking about, he's being deceptive, or a combination of both. Of course Clarksville could have hedged last spring for this past winter, that's the way we do business.

Mark Mccutchen

I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears.

James Herriot

The striking thing about this is that hair-loss syndrome is just not consistent from one valley to the next. There are places where it is much more severe and other locations where it really doesn't seem to be much of a problem. Regionally there seems to be more affected animals in Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties with low fawn-to-adult deer ratios in the spring.

Doug Cottam

Our club is very united in these fund-raising projects. We do a golf scramble early in the spring to raise money as well. It has been about 14 or 15 years we have put on a nice golf scramble. That money goes to scholarships for students.

Bill Rock

We will see some run-up in the spring and summer. I wouldn't be surprised to see a swing of 10, 20 or even 30 cents from where prices are at now.

Mike Burdette

The last two years, we've been on spring break right now, so this is really exciting.

Joe Legerski

It hasn't worked for others. We've got some great arms here and a lot of experience in Miceli. I'm looking forward to the whole battle through spring and to seeing what happens going into the season.

Chad Harville

I'm enjoying tackle, ... I had a chance (in the spring) to get a couple of practices under my belt in a new position. I'm definitely comfortable now. I think I've got a good understanding of the position.

Charles Spencer

Farm Safety is important all year long, but we are proud to help Farm Bureau promote safety during spring planting. Farm families need to be reminded about slowing down and taking proper safety precautions. By working together, we are keeping rural kids safe and healthy.

Marilyn Adams

I've been throwing 93-94. That's what I throw during the season. I've never done that in spring training. This is a big-league tournament.

Rafael Betancourt

Those three kids have swung consistent bats all spring and they came through with those doubles all in a row. That was some great hitting.

Chris Arnold

We started practicing in the spring, planning and looking forward to playing in this game and winning it.

Kevin Jackson

We had 60 one day, we had below freezing, we've had spring. We've had every season right here.

Larry Lee

Dillard, in fact, was meeting (Wednesday) to first decide if they were even going to have school in the spring, second, where they would have school if they did, and third, if they would play basketball if they did.

William Carey

It's a long spring and longer season, and who knows what will happen. Just a few weeks ago, I had no idea I would have the opportunity now that I have.

Joe Borchard

Where did Spring Hill's concern for all this start? I have nothing against Spring Hill, I have family there, but I want to keep our community the way it is.

Joyce Smith

A strong inflation figure will heighten speculation the Bank of Japan will change its easy monetary policy from the spring, encouraging buying of the yen.

Tetsu Aikawa

With the time frame it's going to take, I'm glad we did it when we did it. So we should be ready for spring training, and ready to go.

Kerry Wood

Lacrosse will probably have to be relocated off campus for the next spring. But with the weather as it is, the teams generally end up off campus anyway.

Jim Norris

We'd like to put out a call for help in the spring. If anyone can help us please let us know.

Jody Stanley

The state is primed, and, wow, it's like a loaded gun. Unless something unforeseen happens and we have a wet spring, things don't look good. I would love to see us wrong about all this.

Charlie Liles

I believe they never really let it drop. At the time that my husband went to the commission meeting they told him that they appreciated him coming and thanked him for bringing the petition, but said the annexation would continue to move forward for the good of the citizens of Spring Hill.

Susan Fisher

Memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, winter and summer, the seeds of their past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them to life.

Hal Boyle

A generation of men is like a generation of leaves; the wind scatters some leaves upon the ground, while others the burgeoning wood brings forth - and the season of spring comes on. So of men one generation springs forth and another ceases.

Homer

We are always busiest during the run-up to Spring Festival. It is the peak time for paternity tests.

Cui Yugui

He did a good job. He can do better, but for now it's okay. Based on his performances over the past two years you could see this coming. I believe that he is capable of breaking 60 feet. I expect a minimum of 58 this spring.

Rod Cawley

Spring Fling is expected to draw an even larger crowd this year and so what we are probably going to do is extend it down and set up the main stage down by Student Wing.

Pat Craig

I was a little bit surprised only because I talked to him about a week ago and it seemed like he was pretty excited for spring and everything to get going.

Willie Bloomquist

This time of year people get a little antsy and they're getting their first whiff of spring. It's a festive atmosphere. People need an excuse to get out and have a good time, and the Irish are known to do that.

Richard Burke

You can say right now that we intend to maintain our ticket prices. But we won't announce it until this spring.

Heather Smith

He's got work to do to get back any skills he may have had. Just because he played there in high school before he was signed doesn't mean he's Gold Glove caliber. This will be the focus for him in Spring Training.

Brad Kullman

I wasn't really sure; he was back of our top guys a little bit at the beginning. He's a tough little runner; he was out for spring track, but he just didn't have the distance experience. Now he does and he's figured out what it's all about.

Ron Jaros

It was good, across the board. If we run the ball, we're going to be more productive. Every spring, all across the country, the offensive line is a little behind the defensive line.

Jordan Palmer

My heart is in a world of water and crystal, My clothes are damp in this time of spring rains.

Du Fu

You get spring fever being in this house. Every room has a view outside.

Bonney Todd

It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains comes, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

I don't care if it's the outfield or the infield, ... as long as I know what to prepare for. I can make myself a decent outfielder. I can already play the infield. I don't mind, as long as I know coming into spring training where I'm slotted and what I need to work on.

Chad Tracy

It's very disappointing. It was my dream and I finally got a chance to play. I felt I was doing a pretty decent job out there. All of a sudden, another injury and I'll have to wait until next spring training. I just have to keep my head up and work hard down there.

Jamal Strong

If this doesn't spring board these guys I'll be surprised.

Rich Lee

You couldn't ask a better spring break gift.

Don Noorda

It's my first spring as a defensive end. I'm just trying to get after it. We have some good coaches here and I'm still learning. I still have a long way to go before I get there but hopefully it will work out.

Alex Filin

He's been our most consistent ball-striker so far this spring. His (final) round was critical (to us winning).

Mel Blasi

Moving up to Class A this spring will be interesting. We will need to count four out of five scores instead of three out of four. The depth factor could be an issue.

Jim Heller

This place is dead, but we still have a lot of opportunities in this city. This is not the (end) for us. I believe we can open a new center by spring.

Juan Fernandez

We have tripled the amount of jobs that have been posted on the web site. We have at least 15 companies lined up for the spring but will probably have 30 or more.

Vinessa Mundorff

Right now there is no soil moisture to speak of anyway, and as we began getting toward late winter into early spring and we begin warming up, that would mean if we didn't get any rain that the soil moisture conditions would just worsen and we would have very, very difficult agriculture situation.

John Hehr

All the way through spring I felt confident. I went out there confident all night. I gave up some hits, gave up some runs but I felt I was more confident out there. If I missed my spot and they hit it, I knew exactly why.

Chris Lambert

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

J.r.r. Tolkien

Mentally, our girls weren't there. We were a step behind defensively and offensively we were in a panic. We made bad panic passes. But give Spring-Ford credit. They caused those things. We didn't react as individuals.

Joe Masleh

I said in Spring Training that was the perfect spot for him.

Gene Clines

She was real consistent. I'm looking forward to some good things in the Spring and in the future.

Bob Stockslager

The visit to Monet's house will be very special, since it is only open to the public at a certain time of year. Since we will be there in spring, the flowers should be beautiful.

Paige Parrish

It'll be a long week coming ahead, we had spring break off, we're fresh, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Nick Meythaler

She's got the conformation; she's got the pedigree; she's got the class. She's the kind that doesn't come along very often. I can't fault her. At the top end of the business, a horse has to keep climbing the ladder. Ever since the spring, every month, she matured and she headed the right way. They don't all do that.

Craig Bandoroff

Retailers who are fully stocked in spring merchandise will continue to miss out on the opportunity to sell cold-weather merchandise during the second half of the month.

Stacy Turnof

I bet you he'd like to have the lineup he had in spring training. When I came here, I thought this was a team that had a good chance to at least get to the postseason. The chemistry here has been bad because we're not winning.

Jose Valentin

I haven't played a spring game yet, so I'm really looking forward to going out there.

Matt Bonislawski

For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

Pam Brown

This year boiled down to the fact that so many dealers in Mississippi and Alabama got hit hard and are not back up. We'll be back in the spring of 2007.

Matt Mcdonald

I was extremely pleased with the way that we played in our matches. It was nice to see that the things we have been emphasizing in practice were put into play during the matches. It's always nice to come away with some victories during the spring, but it was more important for us to see that we were progressing and improving as a team.

Dave Thorn

It is later. It's not canceled. Although we got that moisture in spring, you can't undo the drought in one year.

Rose Davis

One swallow does not make a summer, but one skein of geese, cleaving the murk of March thaw, is the Spring.

Aldo Leopold

Overall, the girls really stepped up. Some of the teams were short because of spring break and we knew has a good crew coming in. The girls started out well and continued well throughout the day.

Nick Sturycz

I miss it already, especially with the early spring this year.

Dick Martin

It's something we'll be keeping our eye on. Should circumstances warrant it, naturally we will spring into action.

Dave Worrell

Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club? Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report? Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam.

Alfred Whitney Griswold

Drought likes company. If somebody else is dry in another part of the country, it's always a little bit worrisome. It just can kind of feed on itself and spread. . . . It is something to keep your eye on to see if it persists into the spring.
